XRF4 - RF Router Series

Distributive (Fan-Out) 64x128, 128x64, 64x64 and more

The XRF4 is a non-blocking, high-density wideband RF router for signals from 40 – 2450MHz. In a mere 4RU form factor, the XRF4 starts from a base 8x8 configuration and is expandable in increments of eight-channel input and/or output cards. The XRF4 platform features a modular hot-swappable architecture, built-in 10" touch screen control panel and redundant power supplies and frame controllers. Optional features include direct fiber input modules, integrated spectrum analyzer and more. The XRF4 IO modules are individually software-upgradable to support LNB powering and/or automatic gain control.

Features

  • Performance • Industry's best performing large-capacity router with superior frequency response, isolation, return loss and noise figure to preserve signal margin.
  • Flexibility • Various connector options, adjustable gain and direct fiber options offer flexibility to meet any application requirement. Built-in gain allows expansion up to 512x1024 using Evertz' passive splitters & combiners with no added point of failure.
  • Reliability • All active components are modular and hot-swappable, facilitating quick serviceability and maximum uptime.
  • LNB Powering • Optional integrated LNB power supplies with 22kHz LO control, individually controllable on all inputs. Active current protection, advanced monitoring/alarming and automatic recovery per port.
  • Monitoring & Control • Integrated 10" touch screen display and built-in spectrum analyzer allow quick control and monitoring of all routes using customizable graphical user interfaces. User-friendly web browser provides access to all router controls and monitoring using Evertz' own VistaLINK PRO third-party compatible SNMP software. Immediate control and monitoring of routes, gain, threshold adjustments, RF power levels and LNB current values using Evertz' own MAGNUM control software.
